Gemini surfactants are constructed by two hydrophobic chains and two polar/ionic head
groups covalently connected by a spacer group at the level of the head groups. Gemini …

Gemini surfactants provide a significant opportunity in the development of new non-viral
delivery systems designed for gene therapy applications. This review summarizes the wide …

Now in its fourth edition, Surfactants and Interfacial Phenomena explains why and how
surfactants operate in interfacial processes (such as foaming, wetting, emulsion formation …

Novel quaternary ammonium Gemini surfactants, which turned out to be ionic liquids due to
the intermolecular hydrogen bonding formed from hydroxyl groups in the spacers, were …

This sixth part of the multi-volume Handbook of Detergents focuses on the production of
surfactants, builders and other key components of detergent formulations, including the …

Abstract Series of quaternary ammonium-based gemini surfactants with long alkyl chains
(C12 and C18) containing different spacers and substituents attached to the polar head …

Surfactant action is caused in part by a dramatic reduction in surface tension. Using surface
excess measurements from a radioactive surfactant, it was possible to show that (a) the …

Molecular areas of soluble films at the air/water interface have traditionally been calculated
by applying the Gibbs equation to the steep linear decline in surface tension as the bulk …

The aggregation behavior of cationic gemini surfactants with respect to variation in head
group polarity and spacer length is studied through conductance, surface tension, viscosity …

In this paper, the micellization of anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and
cationic surfactant N-dodecylpyridinium chloride (DPC) in aqueous solution at various …
